What we see in older Longview foundations
- Cracked or crumbling sections of stem wall
- Interior pier blocks that are cracked, tilted or sunk
- Improvised supports added over the decades
- Damaged foundation vents and vent wells
- Water seeping through cracks during the wet season
Longview was built on low ground at the Cowlitz–Columbia confluence, and long wet seasons keep the soil around foundations damp for months.
Repairs we handle
Replacing or adding interior piers and footings, repairing damaged concrete sections, addressing cracks that let water in and vent well work — coordinated with post and beam and floor leveling repairs where needed.
